You might also want to add additional items like an Epipen if you or someone you travel with is highly allergic to bees or foods, glucose for diabetics, or prescription medications like albuterol for asthmatics. Having more than you need is always better than not having what you need when it’s an emergency, so creating a comprehensive first aid kit is fine.

When you travel, you never know what type of accidents will happen. Having a first aid kit after an auto accident can save lives; likewise, having access to antiseptic and bandages can be helpful if you’ve cut yourself or have been burned while camping. You can add items like ice packs that are activated when they are shaken, or use warming pads that activate when open, depending on the areas in which you travel.
